## Using Modal (Optional)

If you plan to run distillation jobs on [Modal](https://modal.com/), you'll need to set up your Modal API token.

## Using Docker (Optional)

For a containerized setup, a [`Dockerfile`](https://github.com/agokrani/distillKitPlus/blob/main/Dockerfile) is provided.
You can build the Docker image using:

```bash theme={null}
docker build -t distillkitplus .
```

Then, you can run the container. By default, it runs the `scripts/local/distill_logits.py` script with the default configuration.

```bash theme={null}
docker run -it --rm --gpus all distillkitplus
```
